The music also just helps these areas stand out compared to other similar ideas in Prime. Fury Green doesn't feel like Tallon Overworld or Torvus Bog, Volt Forge doesn't feel like Sanctuary Fortress or Skytown. And Sylux despite being similar to Dark Samus stands out due to a unique theme.

Finally, more Beeflux Gameplay.

Overall, game is very fun! I was a little worried at the start, but the game is picking up steam now! Right now I'd probably put it at an 8/10, ahead of Prime 1 but behind 2 and 3, though that could change. I just need Volt Forge to stick the landing, its like the coolest please be better later!

Still don't really get why we needed these characters. Overall they aren't problems, they just kinda make me question why we needed them for the story cause so far they really haven't added anything to it. More just exist for Samus to have more people to save.

Anyway, time for the big one, him. McKenzie is definitely my biggest issue so far. Mostly just cause he has by far the worst section of the opening. Absolutely turn off character voices when he shows up. He at least is tolerable after the section, just kinda becomes Prime 3 guide levels of annoying.

Bike is eh, kinda fun, but the gameplay on it has been more just a replacement for the menu in Prime 3, but unfortunately its probably my least favorite area select thingy so far. Sorry Bike, you'll never be Temple Grounds Prime 2. Samus looks cool on it though so points for that.

Will say I was concerned heavily about area structure, but there a lot of implications that seem to suggest multiple visits so I'm significantly less worried. Part right after the beginning was the worst part so far. Like Prime 1 back tracking levels of bad.
